Abu Dhabi's new Yas Marina circuit has been granted official FIA approval to host the 2009 championship finale next month.

We reported this week that the governing body's Charlie Whiting travelled direct from Suzuka to the United Arab Emirates capital to inspect the venue.

"Charlie was here on Monday and he was happy. Everything he had asked for previously was done, so that was good," race boss Richard Cregan said during an exclusive media event at the circuit.

This looks to be a great track. I am looking forward to seeing the cars running here next month. I must say from the pic of the overall layout it looks like there should be quite a few opportunities for passing here. I am imagining there will be a lot of shuffling at the start of the race based on how tight that hairpin looks with the follow up into turns three and four. I think this should be a great track for years to come.
